ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Water in California has become a source of increasing conflict. Current policies are failing to meet demands for water supply reliability, water quality, and flood protection. Meanwhile, freshwater aquatic ecosystems are in sharp decline. Drawing on a recent PPIC report, Managing California’s Water: From Conflict to Reconciliation, this event will explore new approaches to balancing economic and environmental goals for sustainable water management.
